Thanksgiving in Cameroon




 Elias in his usual mode of travel just a few minutes after we started down the dusty road...Elena holding his hand and singing to him!


We drove about 3 1/2 hours from Ndop to Foumban.  Foumban is on the other side of these mountains. Being in the dry season, we got to eat dirt the whole way!  We were all an orange tint when we arrived.


Arrival at the Loechers house in Foumban the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving.


Thanksgiving dinner at the Barilla's house!


Missionary Men


Missionary Kids


Happy Thanksgiving!


Announcing the winner of the Turkey Tournament (making your own Turkey out of anything)

 
On our way to a waterfall and picnic with all the missionaries the day after Thanksgiving



 
 
 
On the way home following the Needhams through the back roads

 
A quick stop to see the a new Golf course built by someone from France...


 ...and the airfield on the property of the golf course and restaurant!  I hope to come here to do some training flights! 

Happy Thanksgiving!  We are thankful for all our family and friends!

I have your blog on my GoogleReader and have been checking it whenever you post. My sister is Holly Brodwater and it is so good to get another perspective on the place where she ministers. Seeing her in one of your pictures made me so happy! We really miss her. Glad your holiday was special.

Abby--you all look so good and happy :) It looks like you're all content to be serving the Lord right where He wants you. We do miss you, but I'm so glad you're there! We're praying for you and your family. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your Thanksgiving pics....so glad you could be with others and have a short break. You all look great! And we enjoyed your post about the first service at BBC, Ndop! Will be praying for those who need to join this fundamental church and for those who need to be baptized. Love and miss you. Love, Mom S.

Love you all,
